European Ghost is an out-of-control and multi-faceted project between
electronics, echoes of kraut music, drones, dark waves and an autistic
post-punk. The music is self-defeating, psychotic and melancholic. The
band formed in Bologna in the Summer of 2015. Their infective mix of
electro / dark and martial punk convinces the French label Unknown
Pleasures Records to hire them for 2 albums. The first, "Pale and Sick",
released in 2016, collects the favors of the critics and the both Italian
and international radio stations. And some of their songs are inserted
into different compilations. After a live incendiary tour, the trio got
back to work and now presents their second album, in line with the
previous decadent experimentalism but with a more mature and direct
sound. "Collection of Shadows" aims at being a mature and straightforward
album that is brutally nostalgic in its own way. It is rooted in
Leopardis nihilism and Pascolis melancholic darkness. Reaching beyond
the experimental asperities and smokescreens of Pale and sick, European
Ghost are discarding their gas mask with a baring album, acutely aware of
a bitter adulthood. A collection of shadows is the account of our
existence, of being left with nothing. It is the sardonic account that
revolves around the ineffability of life as made of faded dreams and
broken chimeras. The need for poetic realism opens up European Ghost to
wider and gentler sounds, preserving however the martial rhythms of their
first album  to dance with tears in my eyes. European Ghost consist
of: Cristiano Biondo (voice), Giuseppe Taibi (bass, drum machine and
synth) and Mario d'Anelli (guitar and synth).
